Research Paper
This paper focuses to design and analyze the Simulink model for the control of Distributed static
synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM). It is important for a distribution system to have
controllability, voltage stability and good power transfer capability. The voltage source converter
based D-STATCOM achieves voltage regulation in the system by absorbing or supplying the
required reactive power. The system is modeled using two control strategies, i.e., direct and
indirect control which includes d-q transform. The comparative analysis of the control strategies
has been done. The results of simulation are demonstrated and analyzed using MATLAB.

FUTURE WORK
This work presents a detailed modeling and
analysis of one of the custom power device
D-STATCOM. Instantaneous Decoupled
Current Control or instantaneous p-q theory
and phase shift control is discussed and
verified through detailed simulations by
developing the models in MATLAB Simulink
using the Simpower system control tool
boxes. Now we are posing a challenge to
complete if the remaining control strategies
which include the synchronous frame theory,
regulation of Bus and DC link voltage, and
ANN based Adaline theory. These control
strategies are implemented and studied in
detail through various simulations then it
would be of immense help for the real time
implementation of the D-STATCOM across
all over the globe.
